Today's mani: jack-o'-lanterns

Halloween is almost here! There's just enough time for one more spooky mani...


When I make jack-o'-lanterns, I usually go for funny or happy faces rather than scary ones. I'm just not into horror, I guess! Actually, the best part of jack-o'-lanterns for me is roasting and eating the seeds afterwards!

For this mani I used Revlon Stiletto, Orange Pop and Posh, plus Sally Hansen Lightening.

Enjoy the last few days of October! Winter is coming...

Today's mani: Halloween jelly sandwich

This is the first decent-looking jelly sandwich mani I've done!


I used two coats L'Oreal The Bigger the Better (black and silver glitter) in between three coats of Zoya Coraline. Halloween orange is pretty much the only shade of orange that looks good on me!

Today's mani: psycho killer

It's about time I got around to doing some Halloween nail art, right?


Cue the screeching violins! This is the first time I've done a drip mani, and I found it fun and easy. I used Revlon Stiletto for the black, Zoya Carmen for the blood red, and Sally Hansen Lightening for the yellow (I was trying to make it look like a lightning bolt illuminating the knife, don't think I pulled it off). I drew the knife-wielding psycho with a Sally Hansen black nail art pen.

I'll probably try one more Halloween mani this week--jack 'o' lanterns maybe?

Anybody planning on dressing up this year?

Swatch: Incoco Fright Night nail polish appliques

The product in this post was sent to me for review. All opinions are my own.

Good morning! Today I wanted to show you another set of nail wraps from Incoco's Fright Night collection. (Here's my other review from last week.) This pattern is also called Fright Night, and it features a haunted house and graveyard pattern over orange glitter!

Incoco Fright Night nail polish appliques, no topcoat.

As usual, these appliques were very easy to apply smoothly and remove, since they're made of nail polish and are quite stretchy--none of them tore while I was stretching them either. Definitely recommended if you're looking for an easy but intricate Halloween mani!

You can buy Fright Night at incoco.com ($8.99 for 16 double-ended strips). You can also follow Incoco on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram!

Swatch: Incoco Bone Rattling nail polish appliques

The product in this post was sent to me for review. All opinions are my own.

Is anyone getting excited for Halloween yet? This is the first year we might get trick-or-treaters coming to our door, and I can't wait!

If you're already thinking about your Halloween mani, check out these creepy-yet-cute appliques from Incoco's new Fright Night collection! They're made of nail polish and are very stretchy, so they're easy to put on and remove. (For an in-depth review, read my first Incoco post.)

Incoco Bone Rattling nail polish appliques. No topcoat.

Like previous Incoco nail polish appliques I've tried, the Bone Rattling wraps applied nicely with no wrinkles thanks to their stretchiness. It might be my imagination, but I think these were a little more resistant to tearing than the earlier ones--maybe they've tweaked the formula? The one issue I had was that occasionally the strips didn't want to stick on the corners of my nails. For that reason I added topcoat after I photographed my nails, even though you're not supposed to need topcoat with these.

Oh, and did I mention they glow in the dark??


Spooooky! You do have to charge these immediately beforehand, or the glow will be weaker. I had my nails under a bright light while swatching, and then took this pic, but twenty minutes later (after sitting in normal indoor light) I went back into a dark room and they weren't glowing as much.

Bone Rattling appliques are available (along with five other Halloween patterns) at Incoco.com for $9.99. You can also follow Incoco on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram!
